Baraka Aquarium
Did you know that some sea turtles in Zanzibar are rescued from fishing nets and given a second chance at life? Baraka Natural Aquarium, nestled on the northern coast in Nungwi, is a peaceful sanctuary where these incredible creatures are cared for before being released back into the ocean.
Here, you can do more than just watch turtles—you can swim alongside them in a natural lagoon, feed them their favourite treats, and learn about their journey from recovery to freedom.
But that’s not all—after swimming with turtles you can visit the zoo area that will bring you closer to diverse wildlife. Here, you can spot various birds, interact with monkeys, watch pythons, and even catch a glimpse of zebras and other small animals in the zoo habitat.
Mostly, this visit on your Zanzibar Beach Vacation is a chance to connect with nature and support marine conservation. With convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off, your trip is as effortless as it is meaningful. Spend your day making memories and helping protect Zanzibar’s marine life in a truly amazing way.
